your asking a big question here. I do not know a local place in orlando to get these but there are plenty of online vendors (one of which on this site). I would go with projectors since that will give the best HID performance as opposed to a drop in kit with new housings. check out hidplanet.com for a bunch of info.

Projectors are better since the have better light cutoff than reflector housings. The high and low beams (H4701 and H4703) use the same housings and when HID bulbs are used, the light is not as controlled and could blind oncoming drivers. It does take more time to adjust the reflector housings and it can be done. This will reduce the amount of light scattered. After adjusting mine, you see the light pattern in front of the car, as it should be. If you just install the HID's (reflector housing) without adjusting them, it will be like having the high beams on and that is not good. I am using the ledgauges HID's and they work great and have improved my nighttime vision.

Projectors are more expensive and you still have to purchase the HID kit. This is more work involved with projectors and becomes a personal preference. The Ledgauges kit works like a champ............when adjusted correctly.

I don't have a T/A but i know on my '96 Z28 i had to get the spendy $350 kit because i have the sealed beam from the factory. My kit came with new housings. I had to aim them but MAN the are NICE
I love them. You will too just give 'em a try, you won't be disappointed.~Cole~
